Age Related Swallowing Changes

Swallowing is important to many components of our health. As we age, the muscles, structures, and processes involved in swallow change. Our presentation is designed to support education of individuals experiencing age-related swallowing changes. Healthy swallowing is a spectrum. This presentation explains healthy swallowing, dysphagia or disordered swallowing, and how speech-language pathologists work clinically to support healthy swallowing across the lifespan. It also breaks down the steps of a typical swallow screening and types of imaging one could expect if they are having concerns about their swallow.
